Star Wars Episode V: The Last of the Jedi Chapter 3, a Star Wars + Naruto Crossover fanfic

Last time on Chapter II of The Last of the Jedi…

"Igor Den'ghad is expecting you, your highness." One of the Emperor's personal guards spoke as he staid just on the edge between the door and the emperor's office. "Oh, a member of the Trade Federation." His evil chuckle echoed silently as he got up and his escorts followed him to where usually his dining hall was.

"Emperor." Igor Den'ghad is the actual leader of the Trade Federation that was protected and shielded by the Empire, the Coruscant native banker was sitting and waited the emperor to sit. "It's my pleasure to meet the actual leader of the Trade Federation. Is there anything you need?" The hasty emperor asked to the man who placed a tiny hologram of the most updated droid design. "My Emperor, your Clone army has proved to be infallible. Yet, the trade federation believed you might've liked this idea. After the massacre of the Jedi temple, numerous Black Markets have been selling the only Jedi secret that could've been taken out of most of their temples. One of them was of force-treated metals. This secret is ancient and, with the important value it holds; we took matters into our own hands to buy it and to place upon you the hologram of the design of the greatest droid up to date." This got the Emperor's full attention, while most Jedi used common metals for their light-sabers; the force treated metal ought only to be a myth. If not, he would have screamed a blatant lie to the man and killed him.

"Also, I think that somebody will like to go to Naboo and meet your student personally." The Leader stated as the doors opened to reveal General Grievous, yet instead of having white armor, now it had a dark metallic color. "Your Highness, it's my pleasure to meet you in person." The biomechanical weapon of destruction knelt in front of the Emperor who got up in surprise.

"I never expected to meet somebody as legendary as you again General Grievous. It'll be my pleasure to send you to Naboo and exterminate the Gungan." At this the General got up and nodded firmly, turning to the Leader of the Trade Federation who nodded. "I leave General Grievous in your hands your highness. And our droid army will arrive to coruscant soon after driving away the Rebellion from Hoth. And we'll also send some new numbers to you." Bowing to the emperor, the leader of the trade federation was about to go out of the room, but his fate was sealed the moment a lightsaber decapitated him.

The Galactic Emperor chuckled evilly as he started to applaud. "You haven't lost your touch General." The Galactic emperor spoke to the biomechanical killing machine that could now prove a challenge to the Rebel forces due to its armor now made of very strong metal. "Take one of my ships; a clone army will be waiting for you. I'll send my stormtrooper army to take over the Droid Designing facility to start a new type of force. One that will easily go against the Rebellion and withstand even the Jedi." The Galactic Emperor ordered to Grievous who knelt down in front of the Emperor.

"Your wishes are my orders your highness." Grievous flicked his new black cape that covered all his body and updates and marched out of the hall leaving only a chuckling Galactic Emperor. Who started to laugh loudly, such turn of events were unexpected by him as by all of a sudden fate has just chose to be at his side and place upon him now the Ultimate Army.

3. Faith of the Heart

Mace Windu detected an immediate shift on the force a very powerful one, something so unbalanced and so bloodthirsty, at his front was a young blonde boy sitting in an Indian style; his padawan apprentice surprisingly showed quite a good advance on his force manipulation skills. His Telekinesis is enough to lift wood boulders of Nabooian trees, his lightsaber form training also progressed along nicely, yet; there was still too much to be done.

Soon war will wage on Naboo again just like the invasion from the trade federation; and for the first time on his life; the man felt a conflict between either helping the nabooians or just escaping from it again. Qui-Gon Jinn a friend of his, used to be a Gray Jedi that always searched his own path and followed the will of the force; while his mistake was to trust too much on Anakin Skywalker, now Darth Vader.

"Master Windu." A voice brought him out of his musings and of the concentration he had on his padawan apprentice, Mace Windu turned to meet Qui-Gon Jinn ghost who stared at the young blonde. "The force is strong in this one Master Windu. Though, I can sense the uncertainty of these times with the force." The wise man told while the Jedi Warrior just turned to his apprentice. "You seem normal." The jedi knight spoke earning a passive nod from the Jedi Master whose hands folded behind him. "From the very start I knew the path that Anakin Skywalker would take; while my apprentice Obi-Wan preferred a pacifist way of dealing things, he never got the true insight of the prophecy." Qui-Gon stated shaking his head nicely, earning a raised eyebrow from the dark skinned Jedi Master. "What do you mean?" Mace Windu never truly understood Qui-Gon and the way he dealt with things, always reserving such important details to himself. "Anakin Skywalker's life is truly one filled with tragedy and sadness, yet; everything its important to complete the prophecy. Anakin Skywalker will bring balance to the force with the help of his heir. For him to bring balance to it, he will redeem himself and sacrifice his life; for as his heart isn't overshadowed by the darkness, if there's light in darkness, then, hope can prevail." Qui-Gon explained a more detailed version of the prophecy of how the Force will be balanced, for now the Darkness can be felt in the force. Yet, for light and darkness to coexist in balance and unity then sacrifices must be made and hope must prevail.

"I see." Mace Windu stated, ignoring that the ghost of the Jedi Master vanished from the area, leaving a Jedi master who had now his mind clear. His apprentice's doings in this prophecy will be also clear; he'll have to constantly face the Dark Side with confidence and also some rudeness.

"Master?" A young blonde boy turned to his master who turned to him and sat on the surface. "The Gungans are waiting for you Padawan." The Jedi Master stated to his apprentice who got up and after bidding his farewell to the man, his eyes got serious.

Chommel Sector

Nabooian System

Outer Space

Darth Vader stared at the planet where his story started; many things have changed from it since then. He fought very close to the battlefront when he was a boy, younger than Luke. His personal guard entered, stating that the ship was ready; his apprentice has been stabilized and looked to be in good health. For Darth Vader, this boy will be the future of the Dark Side so to teach him everything he knew was essential. "Take the young boy to the ship; I'll take my time to teach him." The Sith Lord ordered to his clone army who obeyed his orders and took his time to stay in space, there was no need to bother going into the Cloud City; Luke and his precious friends will fall to his trap soon, and the Dark Side will forever remain in the galaxy.

"Lord Vader, a Star Destroyer class ship is approaching; they're asking for permission to communicate with you personally." A Lieutenant of his Star Destroyer spoke, earning the interest of the Dark lord who impassively went to the communication room of the ship.

There inside, the dark room again; he expected the hologram of the Emperor; his surprise was augmented when he came face to face with the deadliest droid he has known; General Grievous.

"Sir Vader; it's an honor to finally meet the one who single-handedly destroyed the Jedi." The Deadly General bowed only slightly in respect in front of the Sith, never turning away his eyes or his head from the Sith Lord. "As much as I'll like to continue the formalities Sir Vader; the Nabooians expect us to arrive soon." The Deadly droid said as Darth Vader staid silent, waiting for his turn to speak. "While it's a surprise to hear again from somebody like you General Grievous, I don't feel this to be my battle." Vader stated and turned away sharply, earning the sinister chuckle from the deadly general who just continued to do so.

"His majesty has been so lenient with you Sir Vader, I might say; the Dark Side is not as strong as legends are supposed to say." The biomechanical general chuckled, when somebody's voice brought him out of his musings. "They're targeting us Lord Vader." The gasping Lieutenant stated, panting as it stood tall before the presence of the Sith Lord who turned again to the hologram of the droid.

"I find your recklessness, amusing." The Sith Lord stood still, channeling all his Dark-Side's power to spike it and show to the piece of metal junk who really as the villain around, this earned however the chuckle of the robot. "I heard about young Skywalker, and I find the resemblance to you quite amusing Sir Vader, I might meet him soon." The general's eyes fixated upon Vader's who staid silent.

"Not if I find him myself first." Darth Vader spoke to the hologram, using the force to shut the communication down; he turned away hastily. "Send the boy to an escape-pod and take us to the City in the Sky." With nothing else to say; the Lieutenant passed on the orders of their lord who hastily marched to his commodity.

With the aid of new and enhanced droids and even a new army of Stormtroopers of the old Clone War's models, the biomechanical Sith landed on Naboo and he was received by the members of the Kingdom; who were a family close to the Emperor. Yet, The General had no mercy and the sith were never known for having it or even giving it when they were at war.

His clones and droids immediately raised their weapons at the unarmed civilians.

"Your Majesty, I would like you to give your weaponry and any information related to the Gungans." Grievous stated while he used the force to choke the king, an elderly man who grabbed his neck and tried to breath. "We'll do." One of the surrounding civilians stated, earning the attention of the general who just ceased his torture over the poor king of naboo.

"*cough* *cough* We, We've hold over a carbonyte frozen Gungan who may know the location of their secret underwater city." The Emperor stated in between breaths earning a dismissive wave from the biomechanical general who started to give orders. "Cease over the city, prepare our weaponry. We'll assault the Gungans as soon as this cit is prepared with the necessary numbers for assault." With that said, the general gestured to the emperor to show him to the frozen gungan that might give him information if he ever used the force to access to the man's mind.

As the general's steps echoed through the halls, the elder man showed to the hanging carbonite trophy they held of Jar Jar Binks a former member of the Galactic Senate and a friend of Padme Amidala.

"I have to thank you for the commodities Emperor, if you excuse me." Shoving off the emperor after its usefulness expired, the elder man hastily escaped from the presence of the robot that shrugged and started to use the force to go through the Gungan's memories and get a location of the Gungan City.

On the Gungan City, a young red haired Uzumaki and formerly a Journeyman Chunin meditated on the gardens of The Gungan City; training his force aptitude even further and remembering the lecture that his master spoke to him today; the man looked experienced and from what he said, at least one of his apprentices must've been walking the path of the Dark Side.

"Yousa seem concentrated." A distrustful female gungan spoke to the Padawan who just staid silent and continued to use his force, that was the moment where he felt it; a very foul presence with dark and intentions in it; in front of him was also the presence of another being who had a tremendous sadness on its presence.

It's foul pale yellow reptile eyes turned to him, making him wake up; from what he could see the one he with was a Gungan; either both worked together or the evil man was just about to end his life.

"There's a force-innate being on this planet." The young boy stated calculative earning the curiosity of the female gungan. "There was a gungan with him, his presence channeled a heavy sadness." The young boy expressed earning the immediate head-jerk from the female whose eyes were on him.

"Wheres isa he?" Grabbing a hold of the collar of the young boy's shirt, he sighed and closed his eyelids. "I didn't had enough time, he read my presence; he might even locate and trace me now." Naruto stated hanging his head in shame for not being able to help the distraught creature who just turned away.

"They are coming." The young boy's empty voice droned, earning the surprise from the female gungan who sped her pace to inform the leader of the tribe that they were soon going to be assaulted by the empire.

After feeling out, he shook his head and continued to meditate; knowing that his master will soon evaluate his progress in the Jedi Arts. The red-haired boy shifted into a deep state of meditation.

"Anakin;Anakin Skywalker." Darth Vader face tensed, on his pod of meditation, he heard a voice that echoed inside the chamber of tiny confinement. "That name no longer exists." He replied bluntly to the voice that spoke on his head, trying to end the conversation fast; since he had to meditate to meet his son and tempt him to come to the dark side.

The only way for his son to take his side, is for him to be one with the dark side, only that way he can manipulate his son to take the path of the dark side and to finally bring the peace he so much desired on the Galaxy.

"My old friend, it is I; Qui Gon Jinn." And behind him, the phantasm of the old jedi master appeared; he looked just like the day when he met him many years ago. He hasn't changed at all. "You don't remember me." The man crossed his arms and closed his eyes, exhaling and his eyes opened again, they were on vader's eyes.

This place, the only place where Darth Vader had no mask, where his face was naked for the world to see, the aftermath of his turn to the dark side was scarred on him.

He tried so much, he tried to resist yet his mind shifted to the memories when he was a youngling, when he met Qui Gon for the first time.

As programmed the machine to put his mask and prepare him to go out of the pod, he spoke stunned; never turning away from the Jedi Knight.

"How, is that possible?" He asked in a daze of mild shock, he saw the man's burial with his own eyes. How the flames consumed his body and how his master Obi-Wan never expressed a feeling, yet; he felt the sadness of his loss. "I'm a part of the living force-." Qui Gon tried to explain briefly, yet the Dark Lord got up and tried to ignore the man who used to have and still has a slight place on his dark heart.

"You should not have come back." He replied dryly and coldly to the man, turning his gaze away and about to march from his personal room. "You have grown strong and powerful; just as I imagined." Qui Gon statedearning the attention of the dark lord again, yet it was minimal. Opening the sliding door, he was about to close it when Qui Gon spoke again.

"You believe you are the chosen one?" The question itself rocked Darth vader to his core, halting him from his steps and his hand from pressing the button, he stood still; inhaling and exhaling. "I…I; I still try to believe." He whispered dimly, his fear clearly toned through his words; darth vader hated fear, he vanquished fear, he he represented fear.

Yet, when fear attacked him; he felt vulnerable, just as the day he left his mother and when she died.

"I can tell you what I believe; I believe you'll bring balance to the force." When his words echoed, he smirked; he won't fall for the same trick twice, the same nonsense his weak master spoke of. "Obi-Wan once thought as you do." He chuckled as he turned to meet the force ghost of Qui-Gon-Jinn.

"You don't know the power of the Dark Side." The Dark Sirth Lord stated with an evil chuckle, he has finally found the trick; the same things Obi-Wan spoke about were now talked by Qui-Gon whether he is alive or just using the force; it doesn't matter. Nothing will change his path; nothing will make the dark side lose.

"Your statements hold no value to me." The Dark Lord Turned away from Qui Gon, satisfied of finally resting in peace and settling the matters that were left unspoken between them. "The blinding rage that drags you, from the strangling grief into the memory of your loved ones, poisons you; you forced yourself in a machine and the person you loved to never exist. So you can spare the pain." Qui Gon spoke and the Dark Lord Stopped again from pressing the button; turning sharply to the Jedi master.

"She was alive! I felt it." The dark lord protested against the Jedi master who just heard the protest of Darth Vader. "The thing's to forget the past. You have buried your guilt with anger; I will teach you to confront it, not to blindly face it; It will give you great power. But if you don't, it'll destroy you. Whatever were your intentions, you have become truly lost." Qui Gon Jin spoke to the Dark Lord who was assaulted by the memories of his past, Darth Vader clutched the wall with his right hand, supporting himself as he felt weak.

"It's too late for me." Darth Vader answered, not feeling regret into stating his doom and his dark destiny. "The boy Luke-." "My Son." Darth Vader interrupted the Jedi Master feeling strange as he stated it. The force is strong with him, I've visited him sometimes in his dreams, just like his father it is strong with him." The Jedi master spoke and earned the disdain of the Dark Lord.

"He's just a boy. Obi-Wan cannot longer help him." Darth vader deadpanned to the Jedi Master, yet he was answered. "He's headstrong, he has much to learn of the living force but he's going well." Qui Gon remarked about Luke's progress with Yoda's training, and his powerful force of will.

On the dark lord's mind, he got memories of his past again when Palpatine, the actual emperor started to apprentice him.

"You underestimate my strenght and the power dark side." The man argued against any possibility of the reckless boy known as Luke Skywalker of ever winning against him, the boy's too young, too foolish and too uncontrolled. "Look deeper." The Jedi Master inquired to the dark lord who started to analyze what he was requested to.

"He can destroy the emperor, he even forsaw this. Obi-Wan knew the truth…" He stated surprised, realizing it again; he now had more reasons to stop the boy. Yet, why would he be turned to the Dark side to destroy the emperor?

Will he even be turned to the dark side since Obi-Wan apprenticed him?

'I, I can't turn him.' The Sith realized it and he heard the last words of Qui-Gon Jin. "Not far from here there's a place, strong with the Dark Side of the Force, You MUST go there." Qui Gon stated earning the Dark Lord's interest. "What then?" He asked and this earned the Jedi Master's firm nod. "Only what you take with you, your final test is at hand. You may find what you were looking for in the first place." Qui Gon Jin spoke and Darth Vader never felt so free, he felt different and yet he never voiced against this change.

It felt natural, so natural inside him that he never realized it when he spoke it out.

"Yes master." He turned away and closed the doors, there one of his Admirals already waited for him. "Sir, we've arrived to the cloud city." The man said and the dark lord knew that after catching Han Solo his job on the city will be done.

Chommel Sector

Nabooian System

Emperor's Hall

General Grievous walked on the halls of the Castle of Theed in the Nabooian System; after the emperor; son of the empress who was successor of Queen Amidala, surrendered what was left of Naboo's military, he got the exact location of Otoh Gunga,

A Lieutenant Clone appeared walked and greeted him, the man had some red-colored accessories on his armor to portray the important position he man held in the Clone Military.

"Lieutenant, I would be pleased if the forces start to prepare the artillery." The unnerving stare that the general had on the clone emphasized his orders and how immediate he wanted them to be executed, the emperor has called him to retreat and use some of his droid armada to help in the creation of a new battle station. With his arms folded behind him, he continued to walk the halls serenely, on his mind he planned the attacking strategy that his army would take.

On Otoh Gunga, Naruto and Krystal the daughter of Jar Jar Binks and a natural born female warrior had a personal audience with Boss Nass and the Gungan Council, after the female explained to the council what Naruto saw through the usage of the force, the leader of the gungans on Otoh Gunga got up and turned to the members of the council. Noding straightly to them, the gungan turned to the male Padawan.

"Wesa thankful for your help Jedi." Boss Nass approached to the female Gungan warrior and spoke his last words for her. "Yousa have been the pride of Gungah City. Binks would've been proud." This earned the female's sad nod, the leader placed both of his hands on the female warrior's shoulders and turned to the blonde jedi.

"It's yousa duty to protect her now Jedi." The Gungan Boss walked out of the Gungan Council room, leaving both young warriors alone, the re-haired Uzumaki jedi saw as master approached from the corner, the man had used the force ever since the blonde got inside Otoh Gunga to be invisible and untraceable to the naked eye, The Jedi Knight Mace Windu nodded straightly to his padawan apprentice.

"It's time for you two to go." This earned Kristal's immediate negative, glaring at the jedi warrior with murderous intentions. "I'm not going to let my race die." She seethed, earning the man's straight nod; turning to the red-haired padawan.

"The Dark side is getting stronger Naruto; you aren't experienced enough to face this challenge." The Jedi Knight replied earning the Uzumaki's head shake in negative. "Master; we need to save the Gungans from the Empire's oppression and what about you?" He asked hard-driven into being the hero, this earned however the man taking his shoulders and approaching his face to his, the experienced Jedi Knight's eyes were now fixated on him.

"Do not go into the battlefield." Windu deadpanned to his apprentice with his voice louder and emphasizing his tone as an order more than just a request; the Jedi Knight had a reason to do this; the red-haired boy had now ill to disobey his master the moment that the man deadpanned to him in front of his face with those eyes that glared deep through his naked soul.

This was his master's way to almost plead him to not go into the battlefield.

"You're not experienced to fight, while I acknowledge that you've progressed nicely with your forms of battle; you must further train yourself further in the force." The Jedi Knight removed his arms from the boy's shoulder and got the same distance from the boy again.

"My ship is located not so far away from here; it'll take you some hours to reach to it. That's why, first things tomorrow you'll escape to The Ninshuu System." Naruto stared at the light-saber hilt that the man wore, turning to the lightsaber he wore and his master's; he was about to ask yet the Knight gave to Naruto his last words.

"Naruto; from all my apprentices, you're the first one to master so many forms of combat. Do take your time to leave now, since tomorrow will be too late." Windu stated and the Uzumaki hung his head down; turning away from his master he spoke. "We go…" He spoke to Krystal who just staid where she stood.

"How can yousa be so cold?" She reprimanded to the red-haired who jerked his head up, showing the tears in his eyes and the sad expression eh had now it shifted to anger. "Do you believe I don't want to save the person that for the first time saw me as Naruto?" The blonde reprimanded back earning the silence of the Gungan female who just staid silent, the blonde walked towards the nearest door with his head hung and his eyes shadowed by his hair.

"My master is one of my utmost precious people; I want to protect him, I want him to acknowledge me as a powerful person, to say that I'm me and not what others see in me. I'll obey his last will because I know that whoever is in the battlefield, will get us fast." Not turning to the female gungan who was dressed in a black sleeveless shirt, khaki cargo pants and various weapons strapped on her thighs, hips and back; with a gungan military combat knife strapped on her chest to act fast.

The door closed and now they were inside a bubble pod; of the many that transported people around Otoh Gunga; inhaling air sharply; he nodded and grabbing the female gungan's hand both got outside Otoh Gunga and swam outside of the underwater.

Mace Windu looked at the retreating teenagers who are about to start looking for his ship; the Jedi Knight turned away, and drew his lightsaber; after pushing the button a sky-blue light emitted from it.

Many Jedi perished at the hands of Grievous in the time of the Clone Wars, his face straightened and closed his eyes. He'll avenge them all with the blade of a female Jedi with such a promising future whose life was taken by the evil machine, even though Jedi never avenge. He promised that he will carry her lightsaber until he kills the man that killed her without any mercy.

'You must hurry Naruto; or the Dark Side will trace you.' The Jedi Knight thought before pressing the button again and retreating into the forests again, to continue his meditation since, tomorrow was going to be a great day.

My sincere thanks to The Nerd Vault's Darth Vader Redemtion Vid's for the inspiration for the scene between Qui Gon and Darth Vader; some of the dialogue was pretty hard to understand so i had to play it by ear and make some slight corrections for it to have some sense.

Thank you for your reviews and your favs, until the next time!
